Womble has taken to nibbling on the leaves. I think he believes it aids digestion.

We have a vehicle for a couple of weeks, so used it today to make a day trip to Cambridge. Always worth a visit, and what a great way to learn about Britain's transport architecture.

This is King's College Chapel, begun by Henry VI, continued by Richard II and finished by the next monarch who's name I do not remember. I got told off for using the tripod. I said I didn't think God would mind on this particular occasion, what with this being "art" and everything.

Winter snow in Wimbledon Common

It's minus one degree celsius, snowing outside, and I'm loving it. I could not be happier. Snow changes reality into a beautiful black and white coat. Every shape whether man-made or natural becomes a thing of beauty. It feels nice and it gives a great excuse to snuggle up on the couch with someone nice.

These are some photos of Wimbledon Common, who wears her snow coat like the elegant lady she is.

In Treharris, Wales, from 24 to 28 December. Xmas gluttony on 25 Dec, fun in the snow on the 26th. Made the mistake of going into Merthyr Tydfill, possibly the worst place on earth. Tiki tour around South Wales on 27 Dec, including Raglan and Monmouthshire, skirting around Abegavenney. Herewith Raglan Castle, a splendidly decrepit medieval structure. Go up the reinforced parapet for an excellent view of the surrounding countryside.
